This man could have single handedly brought grunge back into prominence, but he blew it. Ironically, Midwest Pipe Bomber would have made for a decent band name.
I met him and he was at our home a few times. My brother played guitar and he was more of an acquaintance, came over to play music a handful of times right before this happened.
I was a deputy sheriff in cedar county Iowa when he did this. I’ve wondered over the years what happened to him. People installed clear plastic doors on their mailboxes for a lot of years after this. Probably not a bad idea still today. Thanks for sharing
I knew him personally. My brother and I worked with him at the same store when we were teens in Rochester, MN and I had a couple classes with him at RCTC. We were pretty shocked, he was actually a really nice guy. His girlfriend at the time was our neighbor.
It was a little old lady here in cedar county he hit. 80 some years old. I want to say she lost what was left of her hearing in one ear. And a finger or two. But I’m not sure about the fingers. Thanks for the reply
I used to work with Luke. He was nice but would always stare and smile at people. I know he also stated that he "vibrated at a different frequency" ..... which yeeeah
I can't imagine how awful it must be for people that have done terrible things in the midst of a psychotic episode. I sincerely feel for the victims, it's beautiful that some sympathy and understanding has been expressed.
@@CBrown86 oh cmon. Don’t act like you’re on a moral pedestal just because this comment didn’t mention the b0mb victims-obviously that’s the point, it would have been fkn awful & traumatic for his victims. This individual is just expressing sympathy for a victim of his own mind, yet also a perpetrator of crime, as his struggles are often over looked with the magnitude of the criminal activity. Situations like this happen because mental health treatment still has so far to go in the eyes of the world, case & point with your comment lol. Don’t try act like a moral dictator of sympathy when you can’t even have sympathy for someone with serious mental illness.
My Mom was murdered in 2003 and I agree with you it is important to understand why and malice does matter to me. The older lady who spoke about mental illness is very strong and has not let this act of violence control her life, I hope one day I will be able to forgive my Mom's murderer, it will be 20 years in August. I am so thankful that I know for sure her murderer will never be able to do this to anyone else's family, he is an evil person but he knew what he did was wrong so he is in the right place.
@@CBrown86 Grow up and understand life is not black and white, we are all a shade of gray, and we all need to understand why a person does what they did with hopefully the end result being able to forgive. The older lady Adam speaks of is stronger than any of us, I hope one day to be more like her.

The CD's wouldn't sell initially, now the internet is searching the world over for them, after a bandmate committed a coordinated act of terror. 🤣 That's life if we ever saw it, man.
althought i will never support any kind of agression towards completely innocent persons his way of thinking could be probably: yall agreed to your government actions like sheeps, now suffer. which is true, millions of people pay taxes blindly but don't give a f where that money goes (military equipment and bombs production is very expensive part of tax world, somehow we have blood on our hands) society could achieve great things if they are united, at the moment it is hard to implement huge changes because we are divided and can't really perform global movement but if there are riots that is a road to bigger movements i think.
So many times I see so many murder documentaries and they usually match my description emotionally, I’m numb and I don’t care when my family dies, yet I’m surprisingly chosen a life of NOT murdering and hurting people, I don’t feel for them the same way I would think of myself because I only do that, think of myself. Still not a murderer tho and I’m glad I got my rage under control
As a person who has spent their whole life on the border of Wis and Illinois this story isn't striking up ANY memories...That's a tad strange to me that I can't recall this happening. Anywho, it was super interesting hearing a story that the internet hasn't done to death! Another top notch video!
I'm in N central/ Eastern Illinois and about 40 min south of lake Geneva. Such a beautiful place to escape the terrible state of Illinois. I also cannot recall this story whatsoever. It is an interesting one though.
It will happen, once he hits a certain number the new subscribers start going up exponentially. I agree with the storytelling too, I think Dire Trip is the best because we get facts more than opinions.
You are not the only one saying that about his channel and others, this story channels, and political channels are not getting promoted and in fact are harder to find if you are not subscribed from what I have been told this has been happening over the last year but even more so over the last six months. Dire Trip is great and should be doing as well as the other greats like Lazy Masquerade and Let's Read..
Honestly, journalism wasn't all that great back then lol. I hardly remember things I would have DEFINITELY paid attention to especially around this time of the late 90s- 00s
Probably don’t remember because there wasn’t a lot of people talking about it other than “did you hear about the bomber? oh yeah, I did man, that’s crazy, what do you have for math class today?”type of stuff. Now we have people making cool videos about all kinds of little known, untalked about stuff. Or maybe you don’t remember because it was too much to remember?😱
@@Urm0mz you think "journalism" is better today? Lol. I mean maybe independent journalist are better today but when you flip on the TV there is no such thing as journalists today. They read scripts.
great venture into a tastefully done crossover between (bizarre/eclectic) true crime & lost media. i'm thoroughly impressed that you managed to find something i've yet to see on anyone else's channel or tier list; novel is so oddly satisfying in the true crime world.
I am confused by the status of this case. If he's incompetent to stand trial and it's been over a decade of trying to establish competence I don't see how the state can continue to claim that he is not not guilty by a reason for mental defect or insanity if he goes to trial. If he was not competent when he was committing then he is not guilty. They should definitely move him to the best facility in the state instead of keeping him in a place that is inadequate because they have not made any progress on his competency in a decade. Is anyone else seeing the issue here? Just declare him incompetent and send them to the state hospital.
Sounds very much like a catch 22. Prosecutors will never dismiss charges like this even if they think he was/is certifiable. They can’t even offer a plea deal of any kind bc he’s legally incompetent. It is ridiculous they still think he can be restored. The best for him and the public alike would for him to be confined to a place he’s already now.
Music speaks to us all...if this guy had focused on his music, and worked as hard as his idol, he could have used his music as a catalyst to get his point across without violence.
I remember this, because I was a city carrier for the USPS and the grand plans weren't given in advance. F this guy. Still postal but moved to maintenance in 2011.
You do the BEST job finding obscure, yet enthralling stories. Thank you! On a personal note my 8yo is obsessed with Japanese culture and was in awe when he learned you lived there. :)
Well it’s not like it’d do any of us any better if he was locked up in a prison. If he’s in a hospital, they can keep him medicated. Change his brain chemistry. You’re right sometimes theres no help for people like that because you’re right there isn’t some magical power that’s going to make him sane again.
I mostly watch your vids to hear you say the words "buttery frankus" I'm into your content and delivery of the stuff. But I hear those words. A name perhaps, which brings me joy.
"Does the definition of freedom include limitation?" ???: Ummm... That limitation is called 'responsibilities,' sir. Freedom always comes with responsibilities. I'm sorry I laughed so hard😂🤦♀️😮💨
Seriously, his writing is very adolescent. He doesn't have a strong grasp on grammar and doesn't have the vocabulary to express the feelings he's trying to verbalise, so his manifestos have little to no meaning for anyone except him. He doesn't have the ability to give context to his "grand ideas." And I get it. I understand where that impotent, inexpressible anger comes from. But being mad and feeling ignored or unheard doesn't excuse putting lives at risk. I think he needs a lot of help and I hope he gets it.
I live relatively close to Menomonie, WI and love your pronunciation of it. It's Meh-nah-mah-knee. Wisconsin cities are notoriously hard to pronounce if you're not from here. Keep up the stellar channel and style of true story telling.
We have some humdingers, too, but it's due to our Native American tribes that were once around here. I live in West Virginia. *I'm pretty sure that WI has the same issue with names. New England's is more akin to Old England. Lol!
I lived not too far from him during his manhunt when I was 5. The county sheriffs office handed out rules of engagement and instructions on what do if we saw him to everyone in our trailer park.
I went to UW Stout for my degree in Psyc. I have never heard of this dude in all the 5 years I went there! I was working on something when listening to this and did a double take because of the mispronunciation of Menomonie and saw our field sprawled on the screen. Granted this was early 2000's it's kind of weird I never heard of this guy nor have any of my friends. I will say though there are a lot of concerning residents of UW Stout on and near campus. We had a guy recently who took someones life at a bar and ran off back to Minnesota. He eventually got caught, but has a FB page dedicated to his release because he's a good boy or something. We also had an apartment hostage situation as well. We also had/have a really weird church who would come out like twice a year to wave signs at every campus corner about how the end is either coming or anti-abortion rhetorics. There was also a quadruple homicide just recently where people were left in a cornfield in Menomonie as well. It kind of sucks that it hits VERY close to home with this case, very uncomfortably so. Wisconsin just kind of makes you go nuts. But we do have fun mysteries like the Mabel Tainter theater being haunted and the travel abroad office being a former morgue!!!! Before someone comments "are Menomonie and UW Stout in the same place???" They are. Stout is the only school that doesn't have the name of its city in its name iirc.
I’m glad you didn’t bloat out repetitive opinions by saying stuff like “wow that is super fucked up he is a crazy person why would he do something like this” no shit he’s crazy, move on thank you for providing super clear content while giving a chance for the viewer to actually think for themselves lol Liked and subbed :)
"In avoiding death you are forced to conform. If you fail to conform, you suffer mentally and physically." So if I fail to avoid death, I'll suffer? Sounds about right.
I would think that if he ever does go to trial his lawyer will only have to point-out that he wasn’t mentally competent when he committed his crimes, so wouldn’t that make it nearly impossible to get a conviction?
Apathy album is on UA-cam and i must admit i really like it. Especially the leading Voice is energetic, expressive and tripolic in a very intriguing way, without copying Cobain to a great extent.
“He smoked a lot of weed […] which may have played a part in that” Negative, commando… it sounded like he needed to smoke a lot *more* weed, maybe he would’ve chilled tf out a bit. 😂
It's likely he just didn't respond well to it OR the one he smoked wasn't "100% pure weed" it's crazy how super common coke and weed mixtures actually are and how most don't actually know so
@@bibibigbombom822 I don't claim to know drug chemistry 100% so that's definitely on meand I'll admit that particular example was poorly thought out but my point still stands. What I DO know is more times than not, weed isn't in it's purest form and it's not as cut and dry from dealer to dealer. The ONLY way 100% you know what you smoking is growing it yourself
"Luke wrote... are you stressing about spending and saving, well tsb has a new app that can help" i had no idea he was so concerned about tsb customer's
I know this is terrible but I kind of wish he had comleted the happy face. "You are dismissed from reality" sounds like a quote from a super villian lmao
7:36 that small clip you played of him singing reminded me of some song i heard a few years ago but I can only remember one note of it and it's driving me crazy...
There's at least one other band named Apathy, which would make finding that album a bit more complicated. If I found a copy, I'd give it a listen, but I wouldn't be expecting to like it much.
The full album was released on UA-cam 4 months ago with all of the songs you mentioned included. It’s not a bad sounding album tbh, parts of it including the last song sound very Nirvana like.
You're kidding right? Billions of people who believe that death is not the end and birth is not the beginning also believe that taking life is a pretty huge no-no!
LOST MEDIA: an album i had around...2002, called BLACK WORM RECORDS, tripped balls on Cordys with it one night, one of the weirdest experiences of my whole life, vs many other trips, id sure like to be able to guve it a listen again. The front cover-art was dark, i think with a worm design in a spiral around the edge...? I think... Anyway, if anyone ever yeard of this & maybe know where to find it, plz respond. Thanks
Holy crap. This guy grew up near me, I come from another one of the satellite towns around Rochester and he went to the college I go to now. Im an animation major at UW-Stout. Thats nuts. Also. The way you say Menomonie is great. Its not completely correct, but its great.
He was thinking straight, hes not wrong after all, because we still having problems with ppl sticking with foolish stuff, like capitalism, that is "perfect" but people are always in wars, people killing each other of boredom...
One thing I never understood is that if you are insane and out of your mind you are sent for treatment and only when you are sane then you are put on trial for crime committed while insane. Makes no sense.
This man could have single handedly brought grunge back into prominence, but he blew it. Ironically, Midwest Pipe Bomber would have made for a decent band name.
Lmfao!!
I highly doubt that… he couldn’t even sell a few cds at a local record shop lol.
@@TheVioletBunny I'm just a sucker for a lame dad pun. His music is trash, from what little I heard of it, so I was definitely joking.
Nah, you call the EP the “Midwest Pipebomb EP”
Add an s to bombers and yeah it'd make a cool name
just because one accepts death does not mean you should embrace it enjoy life and appreciate every moment
Accepting the possible suddenness and finality of death frees one to enjoy and appreciate life , it's not one or the other. Memento mori.

This is the deepest dive I've ever watched on this case. Its been on my radar for a long while, I live less than an hour from Rochester.
This hits different w a beanie.
Love the jacket! Thanks for another fantastic one!
I was surprised when you came on screen. This has to be my first time seeing you in a hat. Nice 😊🙌🏾
Ohh I love the blazer!! It looks cool! Great video though btw. Thanks as always!!
The real-life Johnny Silverhand
I’m loving that blazer you have on! Beautiful taste :-)
I know he is a bad person but Apathy is a good band name 😅
Wonderful show
I’m glad you didn’t bloat out repetitive opinions by saying stuff like “wow that is super fucked up he is a crazy person why would he do something like this” no shit he’s crazy, move on
thank you for providing super clear content while giving a chance for the viewer to actually think for themselves lol
Liked and subbed :)
"In avoiding death you are forced to conform. If you fail to conform, you suffer mentally and physically."
So if I fail to avoid death, I'll suffer?
Sounds about right.
How can someone be incompetent for a decade and STILL face trial, crazy system.
I would think that if he ever does go to trial his lawyer will only have to point-out that he wasn’t mentally competent when he committed his crimes, so wouldn’t that make it nearly impossible to get a conviction?
Tons and tons of money in the "justice" system and mass incarceration. That's how.
By design. He has good lawyers.
2 decades
The father is confused about what "hour of need" means. His hour of need was before he started planting explosives.
9:30 This guy predicted the covid 19 pandemic.
Lol I am a grunge era girl and can attest that it is very paramount. Gotta have the grunge 🤘
Apathy album is on UA-cam and i must admit i really like it. Especially the leading Voice is energetic, expressive and tripolic in a very intriguing way, without copying Cobain to a great extent.
Haven't watched your videos for some time, I lost you on my home page, remembered your name and here you are.
Brilliant videos as always, thank you.
I have never heard that way of pronouncing Menomonie before and now I can't stop thinking about it.. Thank you. O_o
“He smoked a lot of weed […] which may have played a part in that”
Negative, commando… it sounded like he needed to smoke a lot *more* weed, maybe he would’ve chilled tf out a bit. 😂
It's likely he just didn't respond well to it OR the one he smoked wasn't "100% pure weed" it's crazy how super common coke and weed mixtures actually are and how most don't actually know so
@@DarkwareTNP how would you smoke powder cokaine? You clearly dont know much.
@@bibibigbombom822 I don't claim to know drug chemistry 100% so that's definitely on meand I'll admit that particular example was poorly thought out but my point still stands. What I DO know is more times than not, weed isn't in it's purest form and it's not as cut and dry from dealer to dealer. The ONLY way 100% you know what you smoking is growing it yourself
Sounds like he was schizophrenic though. Cannabis can intensify symptoms.
Damn- had a band, was rockin out, then went nuts and got himself sent to prison.
There’s probably at least half a dozen bands called Apathy. I grew up with one in the ‘80’s & ‘90’s🤘🏾
He really shoehorned that 1% line in there
I can only imagine what he must think of the Government now. 😳
Who cares?
@@MPLS_Andy op and 9 other people
@@MPLS_Andy this is the correct answer
For a man who said death wasn’t real he sure hesitated when it came to blowing his own head.
i believe him. he was ahead of his time.
This guy should do audio books he has a good voice.
"Luke wrote... are you stressing about spending and saving, well tsb has a new app that can help"
i had no idea he was so concerned about tsb customer's
He must have had a crystal ball when he called his band Apathy.
What?
I know this is terrible but I kind of wish he had comleted the happy face. "You are dismissed from reality" sounds like a quote from a super villian lmao
7:36 that small clip you played of him singing reminded me of some song i heard a few years ago but I can only remember one note of it and it's driving me crazy...
There's at least one other band named Apathy, which would make finding that album a bit more complicated. If I found a copy, I'd give it a listen, but I wouldn't be expecting to like it much.
Very wise decision with the hat 👒 👌
And for a traffic ticket...😐
Amazing investigation.
Being a 90s twenty something, you'd think he'd be more into 12 Monkeys. 🐸☕
This case kind of reminds me of Project Mayhem in Fight Club, when multiple buildings were set to blow up but not with the purpose of killing anyone
Midwest emo never sounded the same
The full album was released on UA-cam 4 months ago with all of the songs you mentioned included. It’s not a bad sounding album tbh, parts of it including the last song sound very Nirvana like.
Love yo content bro
You're kidding right? Billions of people who believe that death is not the end and birth is not the beginning also believe that taking life is a pretty huge no-no!
LOST MEDIA: an album i had around...2002, called BLACK WORM RECORDS, tripped balls on Cordys with it one night, one of the weirdest experiences of my whole life, vs many other trips, id sure like to be able to guve it a listen again. The front cover-art was dark, i think with a worm design in a spiral around the edge...? I think... Anyway, if anyone ever yeard of this & maybe know where to find it, plz respond. Thanks
Love your content.
Also, BIG appreciation for pronouncing Nevada correctly. 👍👍
Holy crap. This guy grew up near me, I come from another one of the satellite towns around Rochester and he went to the college I go to now. Im an animation major at UW-Stout. Thats nuts.
Also. The way you say Menomonie is great. Its not completely correct, but its great.
He has some good existential points....
Hmm sacks of people ....sounds intriguing
This man took his Joker Arc very seriously
If he doesn't believe in death, why was he concerned about anyone.
He was thinking straight, hes not wrong after all, because we still having problems with ppl sticking with foolish stuff, like capitalism, that is "perfect" but people are always in wars, people killing each other of boredom...
One thing I never understood is that if you are insane and out of your mind you are sent for treatment and only when you are sane then you are put on trial for crime committed while insane. Makes no sense.
